July 21/22, 2013: Details: Wearing of full Islamic veils has been banned in France since 2011. Muslim protestors have clashed with riot police in a Paris suburb after attempts were made to fine a woman for wearing a full Islamic veil. Community leaders in Trappes, a commuter town to the west of the French capital, joined politicians in calling for calm following two nights of disturbances. They have seen hundreds of people surrounding the police headquarters in the area and bombarding officers with stones while also starting fires and vandalising property. Manuel Valls, France’s Interior Minister, today ordered hundreds more police into the area, saying: ‘Given the incidents which marred the night, and during which four people were arrested and twenty vehicles burnt out or damaged in the Elancourt district, a security plan will be maintained until calm returns permanently.’ He added: ‘The mobilisation of the forces of order whose presence in large numbers and their vigilance prevented further serious trouble last night in Trappes.’ A 14-year-old boy suffered a serious eye injury in the violence, while four police were hurt on Saturday, said local prosecutor Vincent Lesclous. A police source in Trappes said: ‘The disturbances are related to the arrest of a man who objected to his wife being controlled for wearing a veil . ‘He attacked officers and was then arrested. It is this which led to the protests outside the police headquarters in Trappes.’ On both Friday and Saturday night, heavily armed CRS riot police could be seen taking part in running skirmishes with youths, while there were reports of flash ball guns being used to disperse the crowd. The violence is the latest in a string of incidents related to the controversial burka ban which was introduced across France in 2011. It means that women found guilty of wearing veils in public can be fined the equivalent of £130 and be forced to attend citizenship classes. Last month police were attacked on an estate in the Paris suburb of Argenteuil after arresting two men who also objected to a woman being stopped for wearing a veil. Some 40 riot police had to be called to the area to restore order, with tear gas and flash ball guns beMr Sarkozy had described Muslim face coverings as an affront to the principles of the French Republic, saying that they could be used by both shoplifters and terrorists to hide their identities.
